Radio is not as done as I'd like it to be. AM works just fine but the SW is totally dead. I have rechecked all the bandswitch contacts as well as the coil connections and all appears fine. I'm thinking its the 6A7 not oscillating at the higher frequency but all my spares either start to reproduce that D**n squeal on the AM or work the AM band just fine with no change for the SW. Short of ordering a new tube is there anything else I'm missing?
